The integration is so far limited to select hardware: Users need a GoPro HERO 4 camera, as well as an iPhone to make live streams work. There’s no word on when the functionality will be extended to Android phones.

Live action shots are an obvious use case, but one could also imagine broadcasters using a GoPro as a kind of studio camera rig for social live streaming.
